I imagine the reset simply does not interrupt the timer, so it never has to figure out the time again. After all, there is that emergency battery for tracking the time, so even disconnecting power will not cause time problems. That said, the apex does a poor job of time synchronization, as one can see every time daylight saving time starts or ends.
